This massive show will feature Swedish House Mafia’s final West Coast performances as well as an all-star lineup of special guests including Nero, Alesso, Zedd, An21, Max Vangeli and much more.

The Saturday show is sold-out and tickets are going fast for the Friday performance. Given the very large fan turnout anticipated – up to 70,000 people over the course of both days -- park and city officials strongly urge fans to take note of the following information:

Doors will open at 2 PM. The show will start at 3:30 PM. Detailed set times are listed below

Metro is a great way to get to the show, and is free for all ticketholders(on day of show). Why drive when you can ride! Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) service is a convenient alternative, and is free for all Masquerade Motel ticketholders on show day. All fans need is their concert ticket (a receipt will suffice for Metro riders picking up tickets at will call).

Getting there is easy on the Metro Gold Line. Fans can take the Gold Line to the Chinatown Station(901 N Spring St, Los Angeles 90012)and then walk a short distance to the Los Angeles Historic State Park. Fans can also take the Blue Line, Red Line subway or the new Expo Line to connect. The Chinatown Station adjacent to the park is served by Metro Bus lines 81, 83 and 84.

Fans are encouraged to check traffic patterns before getting on the road in order to plan their route. Go to:www.sigalert.comandwww.511.com.

Since there are multiple routes to L.A. State Historic Park by car, fans need totake note of directional signage and freeway message boards. Los Angeles Department of Transportation and the Los Angeles Police Department will deploy throughout the area and will update freeway signage to help direct fans to the venue as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Carpooling is strongly encouraged. The small difference between four versus three people riding per car results in thousands of fewer vehicles on the road, greatly streamlining traffic and parking, not to mention reducing harmful exhaust emissions. Plus, carpooling offers attendees a lower-cost option.

While L.A. State Historic Park does not have any parking on-site, several public lots are located nearby.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early and catch a screening of the Swedes’ 2010documentaryTake Onein the Masquerade Motel Ballroom.
